Las Condes Merlot

Vintage: 2021 Colour: Red Style: Dry

Producer: Vina Casablanca SA

Description:
One of our most popular everyday drinking wines. The Maipo Region from which the grapes are sourced stretches eastwards from Santiago to the Andes and west to the coast. These wines come from the central sector, one of the country's oldest and most diverse regions. With rocky alluvial soils and warm-but-not-hot climate, red grape varieties grow well and strong, showing typicity and concentration.

The clean and fruity palate offers gentle, ripe tannins that blend perfectly with the soft sweet tones delivered by its ageing in barrel. This unpretentious wine is soft and fruity with berry-like flavours, such as plums and blackberries. It is full bodied and well balanced and would make the perfect partner for red and white meats and pasta dishes.

Ageing Potential: 1-3 Years

Tasting Note:
Gorgeous, deep purple colour packed with ripe, plummy, fruit flavours. Soft and voluptuous with warm layers of fruit and smooth chocolate backed by supple tannins all add up to a very drinkable wine. Well made style with a full round finish. Great value.
